VBA To Lock Cells After Data Entry And Save
Aug 13, 2013I need the attached spreadsheet to lock cells after data is entered into cells E13-G74 and the page saved. It will be opened twice daily and saved. Also im not sure if it makes a difference but I would like all other cells outside this range locked except for C5, C6, C7 AND C8. I have seen several threads on the topic but am extremely new to using VBA and cannot make anything work.

View 3 Replies View RelatedUse VBA To Unlock/lock A Worksheet For Data Entry?
Oct 16, 2009I have a worksheet that, unless a form for data entry is activated, should be read-only for columns 'A' thru 'M' and 'O' with column 'N' left editable.
The form is activated by a button with a macro assigned to enter the data in the above columns when the form is closed. This has been compiled and works nicely with the sheet unlocked, however, as i need certain columns to be read-only unless the form is activated, i'm stuck with leaving the whole sheet unlocked for editing with or without the form being activated.
Is there any way a VBA code could be used to unlock the worksheet columns that are read-only when the form is activated, and then lock them once the form data is entered to the worksheet and the form closed?
Lock Cells For A Certain Time After Entry
Oct 10, 2012I've got a spreadsheet set up for a simple barcode scanning system. The user scans the barcode of the product when complete, and it logs it to a sheet along with a date & time timestamp. I'm then planning to use a v-lookup (barcode to product name) & pivot-table to count instances of 'product name' so that I can monitor what is being produced easier, nothing too tricky.
The problem I'm having comes from the products of the same spec having the same barcode, so data validation is hard to apply, as I can't 'not allow dupes' - the concern I have is that if the user unknowingly (or knowingly!) scans the same ticket twice, I think I've got 2 of a product when I've only got one. The idea I had was to lock all cells for a set time period (say 1 minute) after an entry so that it couldn't be accidentally scanned twice.
Auto Lock & Protect Cells After Entry
Feb 28, 2007How would I go about lock a cell after there is an entry. Once the entry has been made the user could not change the entry. For example if a user enter in cell b2 he could not change the entry, he could change a2, c2, d2. He would also be able to put an other entry in b3, once enter the cell is lock.

I need a macro which will lock the cells after data is entered in the cell once. Cell should should be only edited after a password is provided. I found the following macro but the problem is that it's not locking the cells where I have Data Validation List :

If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A1:M10000")) Is Nothing Then 'set your range here

Apr 16, 2008I am trying to apply a conditional cell lock to a worksheet. I am using Excel 2003, not 2007.
In column J, I have a list validation being used. The default value is "Not Claimed", I want to lock the cell from being edited once the value has been changed to any other value on the list.
The worksheet will be password protected to prevent entries into static fields (A:I & N:P).
I also would like to give the user the ability to unlock a specific cell, not the entire worksheet, by entering a password or something if they accidently choose a wrong value from the list.
I have column Q and beyond available if I need to have the password entered somewhere else.
I have attached a sample of the file I am working with.

Excel 2007 :: Auto Lock Cells Once Data Is Entered Not Working
Aug 14, 2014I have searched and found many examples of code that will lock cells once data has been entered. But for some reason, I cannot get it to work in my workbook. The weird thing is, I have successfully got them to work on blank workbooks. I unlock a range I want people to be able to edit, I protect the workbook, I enter the code, and it works. But I do the same thing on my workbook, nothing locks.
I've tried locking all the cells on a sheet, and only unlocking a small range, as in the examples (A1:A10), and I cant get it to work. I've tried not pre-protecting the sheet, I've tried 4 or 5 different examples of code. If it wasn't for the fact I've gotten it to work on blank workbooks, I'd think VBA was disabled or something. I can't post a copy of my workbook for you all to look at because its on a stand-alone computer at work (and the USB is disabled for info-sec).

Access Query Dumps Data Into Excel - All Automated - Need (Blank) Removed
Jan 22, 2014I use Office 2010. I have an Access database that goes out and runs various queries from our systems of record. It then takes the data and dumps it into an Excel file. I have taken the info and created a file the grabs the raw data, converts it into Pivots and then Charts. All info is automatically updated however the size will change depending on what department is quering the data. It is really all done with a click of a button. I have tried to merely uncheck the "(blank)" but it comes back everytime the report is ran.
How can I keep it from returning??

Macro VBA Code To Allow Data Entry In Few Cells
May 21, 2014I have an excel spread sheet with the page title "Main". I would like to add a macro by pushing a button and a window pops up. It will have 4 columns or 4 questions. The first question will ask what is the date? You enter date, next question asks, What is the fundamental? You enter the fundamental. Next question is what is your name? you enter name and next question is enter what you need fixed. Once you enter that and press finished, the data is then place in the spreadsheet. All rows shift down 1 spot. B2 answer is posted in B2, question 2 answer is placed in C2, question 3 answer is placed in D2 and question 4 is answered in E2.
Each time someone presses the NEW ENTRY button this window pops up asking these 4 questions. The answers are then posted in cells B2 through E2 after shifting the entire page down 1 row.
Locking Cells Upon Entry Of Specific Data
May 14, 2009I'm creating a spreadsheet for work, which for security reasons requires certain information to be locked except to administrators. However the cells need to be open for inputing information for everyone until the administrator enters specific data.
Completed Date Time W/R No. Acc. No. Priority? Vunerable? Comments Closed Date/Time Yes 14/04/09 11:30:00 1234567890 8890976 Yes Yes N/A 14/04/2009 11:30
What I am looking to happen is once an adminstrator selects 'Yes' from the drop down menu on the Completed column, for that row of data to be locked for editing, unless unlocked later by an adminstrator.
Stopping Data Entry If Adjacent 5 Cells Are Blank
Feb 10, 2009I've got six columns with drop-down lists in every cell. I don't want column six to be selectable if the first five drop downs don't have data in them too.
Equally, I want the data in column six to be undone if columnns 1-5 are then unselected. Can I do this?
I know that using data validation or VBA is an option but I'm not sure exactly how to set it up this way. I also don't want anyone screwing with what can and can't be entered according to these rules - I want to keep it watertight!

VBA Program For Data Entry - Find The Matching Data To Update
Jul 15, 2009I want the script to find if the value entered in the form is matching the values in column 'A' in the database and if it matches then it needs to select the cell as active cell - to populate the form details. And if there is no matching value found, the script needs to select the last empty cell of the column 'A' to populate the data entered in the form.
1) Form has 10 different fields that needs to be filled by the user.
2) Field 1 - is a text box for 'Request #' to be entered by the user.
3) After filling in all the fields - once clicked on OK, the form should search for the the 'request #' entered on the form in the database (Form and the database are in the same workbook).
4) If the 'Reqeust #' in the Column 'A' matches the the 'Request #' entered in the form, then the matching cell should be selected (Activecell -Were the data can be overwritten, with the new entry)
5)If there is no matching 'Request #' found in the database, the script should loop to select the next available blank cell in column 'A'. So that the form data can be entered.
